i'm glad to hear that better you than me. ♪ let's get it started ♪ let's get it started in here ♪ let's get it started ♪ let's get it started in here. steve: as you get started today, lit get started with an umbrella, it's a little drizzly as you look in 46 and sixth avenue we are sitting on our perch. brian: a lot of showers in april. if it doesn't produce i will swear off that whole parable. we can stop and hear the tune in lips break through the earth's crust. steve will explain next hour. ainsley: great night last night tucker's show 8:00. after that had "the five" proud of all our friends. steve: a night of new beginning thes. meanwhile tell you about. this it looks like donald trump is willing to wait until september or october to get the money to actually build the wall. the president is clearing the way to avoid a government

shutdown that could, you know, ultimately take place at 1 minute after midnight on the official first 100 days. ainsley: he says he is goingexi. he can delay the funding of the wall until september to avoid that government shutdown. he says not to worry, his base understands the wall is definitely going to be built. brian: he wants $1.5 billion to get it started. here he has the top designs narrowed down. these private contractors are ready to go. he knows the places that need it the most. this is pure politics. there is no democrat standing up for what they believe in. what they believed in 2006 building a barrier, building fancy, getting some type of limitation. what this is donald trump saying this is their chance to do what they have been doing all along and saying we are going to stop donald trump from doing what he said he is going to do. personally i'm prize. i'm surprised democrats you can find $2 billion to get this started and at least bring it to the end of the week. are democrats going to allow

themselves to be responsible for stopping the building of the that the president ran on for a year and a half? ainsley: i was proud of him for doing that is he looking at the bigger picture. he is being flexible. brian: why aren't democrats being flexible? steve: look, they are still at the table. chuck schumer made it clear over the weekend if there is money for the wall that's a nonstarter. keep in mind, in addition, there will be apparently more money for the pentagon and more money for border security. drones and sensors and stuff like that. just not the wall. but donald trump himself made it very clear as president, if the wall is not built, which it will be, the drudge situation will never be fixed the sway it should be. #build the wall. look, we have gone 241 years with no, you know, no wall on our southern border. donald trump is going to wait another six months. he thinks politically it's a better opportunity to get it done then rather than in his first 100 days on a sour note. brian: steve, what do you think is going to change in six months?

is senator chuck schumer going to become compliant? all this guy cares is about is his base and stopping donald trump not for the good for the country but the handful of democrats that write checks to his party. ainsley: the republicans have the house and the republicans have the senate. it's not really up to chuck schumer. brian: it is. he is stopping it. ainsley: i don't think he will stop it in september though. i mean, this just allows the government not to shut down. it allows because we only have three more days. the house comes back today. the senate came back yesterday after their two weeks off and have until friday to prevent the government from shutting down. this is a compromise so our government doesn't shut down and can focus on it later. brian: it's been partially built and partially funded. he wants to fund the rest of it and build it right now. you could get some democrats, the republicans that understand and have some respect for the president to say we can come up with $1 billion considering the way they spend our money now. steve: donald trump has made it very clear the wall will be built. it just won't be built with money that he is going to get

by saturday. ultimately though, what it looks like, he is going to unveil tomorrow will be the crowning achievement of the first 100 days and that is tax reform. according to the "wall street journal," apparently donald trump in an oval office meeting last week told the staff to get this done. he said i want to slash the corporate tax rate to 15% from the 30's and he wants personal rates cut as well. charles krauthammer says that's the most important issue. >> i think this is the single most important initiative. legislative initiative for the trump presidency. i think healthcare reform is much more congressional deal. it was preceded trump. trump is the one who ran on this. he ran as a businessman. and, also, this is his one chance and i think it will be a good chance to actually stimulate the economy, to get the 3% or near 3% that would make his presidency. ainsley: be great for the economy. corporate tax is so expensive right now.

that's why companies are going oversea he is it would great to see it go down to 15%. wouldn't it be great because you have more money in your paycheck because you are in a different tax bracket. steve. >> steve: mnuchin and other officials are going to go up to capitol hill and go to mitch mcconnell's office and explain the plan today to mitch mcconnell and paul ryan and then the president will unveil it tomorrow. brian: i would love for them to do this piecemeal rather than comprehensively. everyone can agree on the corporate tax and other things we can agree on. comprehensively it's going to be a push and pull even amongst republicans. ainsley: why wouldn't it be good though? brian: to get everybody on the same page take over a year. steve: if they do it this way, they can do it through reconciliation. they only need 51 republicans in the senate. you do it the long way, you need 60. so you avoid the filibuster. this is ultimately part of their game plan that they could actually move this thing close to the goal post. if they do it this way. ainsley: having this president in office doesn't it all

remind us how long it takes things to go through congress? steve: washington. oh, boy. brian: let's talk about one of the worst deals in american history and that's what we know about it right now. and that is the deal that we have made with iran to allow them to put on the shelf their illegal nuclear weapons program. so for 10 years they put on the shelf next change for unfreezing of the assets that were frozen in our country. relief from all the sanctions from western powers and bring them into the family of nations. the question is to do that what else did we give away? upon further review, according to politico, politico hardly a right wing outfit. expansive look into the secret deals that showed that we released some terrible people, not 14 businessmen that were caught up in some proliferation but 14 worse -- 14 of the worse iranian and in one case chinese weapons proliferater and parts distributor than you can imagine.

this has been exposed this morning. steve: the administration hid the fact that some of the men let off were accused of supplying equipment that could actually help iran build nukes. three of them were members of an illegal procurement network. one attended to supply iran with satellite technology. three sought to lease boeing plane for hezbollah. now, here's the thing, when the president of the united states, who desperately wanted this deal, even though you know you look at it now it's a dirty deal, he wanted to pass this particular deal and get the iran deal done. and so when he is describing some the people released they sound so just businessmen. honest, listen. >> these individuals were not charged with terrorism or any violent offenses. they're civilians and their release is a one-time gesture to iran given the unique opportunity offered by this moment and the larger circumstances at play. steve: they were not civilians. they were people who could have helped iran build nukes which ultimately is our

biggest nightmare. ainsley: according to this article it says they produced products that killed hundreds of u.s. troops. steve: yeah. i don't remember the president saying that. ainsley: just civilians. so equipment that put the ieds together that killed american troops in iraq where iran didn't belong and shouldn't have been. counter police officerration authorities lured scientists to another location in order to capture them and then question them about what exactly is going on with their program. and six times they were denied by the obama justice department and these guys vanished. ainsley: if i'm the mother of one of these soldiers that were killed because of this how fewer use would you be that the president released arms dealers for terrible iranian deal everyone agrees on that pretty much and your son or daughter died serving our country as a result of this? steve: let's talk about president obama's legacy. he was at the university of

chicago yesterday. he had a wide ranging discussion with a number of people up there on the day as as you can see. he would not engage when either in his comments that he had thought about ahead of time or when taking questions from the audience. he would not talk about donald trump, absolutely would not. but, he did make one joke. he said so, what's been going on while i've been gone? obviously his side of humor. brian: he said i'm the first to acknowledge did i not set the world on fire nor did i transform these communities like the one he was n chicago. although did he some good things it did change me. this community gave me a lot more than i was able to give in return. no kidding. inner city suffered big time. ainsley: most important job he has he next is to prepare the next generation and he wants to know why the young people aren't voting or getting involved. steve: josh earnest was asked over on another cable network well, you know, the president -- former president was not really engaged.

when will he step in and get involved with donald trump and this is a very funny answer when you hear josh earnest say this. >> what do you think would motivate him to get back involved in the public debate in a way he is not willing to do right now? >> i think what would motivate president obama to reengage in the political debate is if we saw the federal government start to cross some clear red lines in terms of long observed norms and values that, frankly, i think that we have starterred to take for granted. brian: define a red line that the president would actually enforce maybe we are going to find one. steve: funny stuff, josh. all right. heather: hand i ainsley: hand it over to heather childers. heather: a fox news alert a new act of defiance by north korea. the country reportedly conducting a massive live fire drill overnight marking the anniversary of its military. north korea could also launch another nuclear test in the coming days.

this as the uss michigan, a nuclear powered sub, docks at a south korean port overnight. president trump now calling the entire senate to the white house for a briefing on north korea tomorrow. and the first double execution? nearly two decades carried out in arkansas overnight. jack jones and marcel williams were put to death for sexual assault and murder. they tried to delay their executions arguing that they were too overweight and unhealthy for the lethal injection he is. those appeals were denied. the execution is party of an effort in arkansas to put eight inmates to death in 11 days before the drugs used on capital punishment expire. the next one is set for thursday. those are a look at your headlines so far. but we have one more. from right here on "fox & friends" to the center of politics the best one of all. look at this. our very own our friend and former co-anchor heather nauert named the new state

department spokesperson takes over for mark attorney and comes to the role with more than 15 years experience as a journalist and we will all of course wish her the best of luck. one of my best friends here. steve: how great is that? heather: we are going to miss her. ainsley: we will still be seeing her because we will be interviewing her now. steve: she will have better hours. she will be on the tv in the afternoon. ainsley: traveling a lot. brian: move over toner. speaking for rex tillerson at the state department for a change. that will be great. congratulations heather. her knowledge of foreign relations is going to come in handy. steve: absolutely. meanwhile it was one of president trump's coveted campaign promises securing our campaign's border. right? >> we will stop illegal immigration, deport al criminal aliens and yes build a great wall. steve: just four days shy of the president's first 100 days in office has the president made the grade.

deported. and that's what we as new yorkers want. we want new york safe again. we're not interested in this liberal or progressive agenda that the mayor claims that he represents. but he really represents the highest bidder. ainsley: you are talking to people who say they don't feel safe because of sanctuary cities? >> absolutely. i'm talking to people in housing communities. in housing developments and public housing. i'm talking to people in the immigrant communities. i was with a group of immigrants yesterday from pakistan. and they were telling me yes, we don't support the sanctuary cities. and these were muslims. many of these people that i was talking to were muslim and they do not support the sanctuary cities. ainsley: why are these liberal politicians supporting it if the people don't want it? look at what is happening in chicago. rahm emanuel is going to open city. if you are illegal you can come here and you are safe. look at crime in that city. >> crime has gone up but the problem is we have not had conservatives who could

effectively push back on this progressive agenda. i am that conservative. i am that candidate that republican, that leader who will push back because they don't have an answer for me. they don't have an argument for me because i am with the people. i am with all the people. and new york city is a great city. we're going to make new york city -- i don't want to make new york city great again. i think somebody used that slogan. burr we're goinbut we're going e new york city safe again biobaying the laws. we are a city of immigrants in a nation of laws. we have to marry those two realities. those realities are great realities. and new york's immigrant community is the life blood of this city. we're not trying to kick them out or say you're not welcome here but we're trying to say hey, we want to obey the laws and make sure that we have everything that we need to keep new york city safe. bill de blasio is not doing that for us. and the republican leadership is deciding right now who they want. i amount crossover candidate. i amount person who can get,

is hosting on a briefing as you know. he took a hard line yesterday as did our u.n. ambassador nikki haley. steve: is he bringing in all 100 senators. >> that's right. they have been invited tomorrow. that's on tap today and tomorrow. talk about the whole week. that's incredibly important because the president yesterday talked to the prime minister of japan and the president of china and obviously he is engaging them on this incredibly important issue as the vice president on 8 or 9 day trip abroad addressing this issue as well. the president said for decades that the president had blinders on and time people took a harder line. obviously all options are on the table as he said. he likes to bring the senate in on that. also today tax reform continues to move a pace the president has made very clear that he would like the corporate tax rate reduced because overall that's how you stimulate overall growth and job creation. if you reduce the tax creation on job creators it stands to reason that family's investment and they are able

to attract and maintain workforce. he has made good on so many promises with respect to prosperity in first 100 days. this is a continuation of that really reducing the burden on middle class taxpayers and also making sure our job creators have the tools they need to be able to expand and stay here in this country. brian: kellyanne, it seems like you are doing immigration little by little. enforce the border and get rid of the criminals. comprehensive did it phase by phase. could that same approach be with taxes when most democrats and republicans agree that corporate rates should be lower and find out different things that can be done that they agree on and then build up or are you looking to do everything at once? >> well, the president has promised this will be the most dramatic tax reform relief package in decades. literally since president reagan and some say even bolder than that. so as you know, secretaries that mnuchin and ross and gary copen and the president are

working very hard on this. all options are on the table. meetings are happening this week as well. also today governor christie is in town. he is the head of the president's commission on opioid and drug addiction. and he is here working with members of the house and senate to continue what's really great work in that space. i think the president and the vice president have leaned in on this dramatic issue, drastic issue for this country where it's the leading cause of accidental death now and opioid use has and drug addiction has -- it's quadrupled since 1999. no state has been spared and no demographic group has been able to he is dishap incredible epidemic. just last week secretary of health and human services tom price announced that he is releasing half a billion dollars in grants to the states, to the governors because we at the white house believe those closest to the people in need are able to administer the funds. ainsley: the president says is he going to delay the funding

for the wall so the government doesn't shut down. why did he come to this conclusion? because is he being more flexible by doing this so government doesn't shut down. he is not going to get that $1.1 billion to build the wall necessarily. at least not this week. >> not this week. the president made clear just yesterday, ainsley. building the wall remains a very important priority to him. he also reminded people that there's a flow of illegal immigrants over the border. there is also the flow of drugs. i don't really hear a lot of democrats talk about that. the president has made very clear that drugs are poisoning our youth and others. he said it again just yesterday. building that wall and having it funded remains an important priority to him. we also know that that can happen later this year and in to next year. and in the interim you see other smart technology and other resources and tools being used toward border security. we should also remind the viewers that just since president trump took office illegal border crossings are

down to 17-year low. to so it's resolve plus the tools and resources. you know, earlier in his first 100 days, he signed an executive order that allowed better tools and resewerses, detention centers and like for our border agents to have what they need to be able to do their job. you see attorney general sessions, secretary john kelly, dhs down at the border together just last week so the fact the illegal border crossings are down so much is happening. have those enhancements for border security and then moving on to funding and building the wall later on. i would note that over 350 firms from 41 states so far have submitted proposals toward building the wall. steve: a lot of people know there is a lot of money in it. kellyanne can they possibly make it louder at the white house? >> here he comes behind me. steve: what is that? ainsley: hi. steve: there you go. >> that's the -- want to start

that at 5:00 on "fox & friends first"? steve: one of the things about the budget that sun resolved is whether or not the republicans want to include payments to health insurers to keep obamacare afloat. that money going in there? >> that's being discussed this week. again, all options are on the table, obviously. the president and director mulvaney and others have expressed confidence that the government will not be shut down. they will be able to avert a shutdown and that's a huge priority. all of these democrats have made their demands and the republicans control the white house and the house and the senate and understand how important it is to have this. ainsley: talking yesterday about 2006, all these democrats were for building that fence. brian: senator schumer, senator obama and senator clinton.

ainsley: now when president trump wants to build a wall they are against it. why would they be against keeping our borders safe, keeping illegal criminals out, keeping drugs out, keeping gangs out, and keeping terrorists out? >> i suppose because they don't want this president to have a victory on this. that's petty and foolish and partisan. the magic year of 2006, you had the same senators voting to confirm neil gorsuch a circuit who then stood in his way just a couple weeks ago. same year that they started i think it's called the square fences act. 11 years ago. they starterred to enhance border security and build the wall. it's a matter of finishing it. senator made this point yesterday that this has been going on for many years. the president is making the very reasonable request to continue it. continue the construction and continue the funding. i appreciate you mentioning that because very few people, i think, are aware of it. brian: right. you know, josh earnest yesterday. ainsley: he's back. brian: here we go.

steve: here comes the vacuum. keep america beautiful. >> ainsley: jobs, jobs, jobs. >> this sidewalk. this road has never been so clean. ainsley: he just wants to be on tv. brian: i will take a lawn mower over the vacuum. >> your cameras do not add 15 pounds to that machine. brian: it's amazing. fantastic. like 100. today major story from politico actually came out yesterday. it goes about 20 pages deep if you think it out. talks about significant players in iran that were released from our custody during the iranian deal. they were procuring parts not only for ieds to kill americans but to build the nuclear program. now we find out that these weren't just 14 businessmen. these were serious police officer rarts. what's the president's understanding on this? what is your understanding on this and what kind of action can we take? >> in my view it was the most

important read of the day yesterday. and i would commend your viewers to take a look at that politico article about what happened. the details of the iran deal. this president has made very clear that it was a bad deal. should not have happened. he said it as recently as last week in a joint press conference. he continues to say that we are still unpacking and you see the lack of transparency, the lack of full disclosure. it seems that a number of democratic senators. some of whom oppose that deal. like senator schumer. leader schumer may have been unaware of the full scope. brian: will that effect how the president approaches this? we do know through rex tillerson, the secretary of state, he says the iranians are adhering to the deal so so far you are not going to tear it up. >> i only heard the last part about tearing up the deal. i'm sorry, brian. i didn't hear you.

>> i think they are polishing and buffing it now. talk about the iranian deal the president made clear it never should have happened. should been ripped up. steve: one other thing, president obama was at the university of chicago. he gave a presentation. he talked about life after the presidency. it's interesting. josh earnest, who was being interviewed on another channel yesterday was asked at what point would this former president get involved with the current president if he does something wrong? we want you to listen to what josh earnest said because it's real funny. listen. >> i think what would motivate president obama to reengage in the political debate is if we saw the federal government start to cross some clear red lines in terms of long, observed norms and values that frankly i think that we take for granted. steve: if you cross any red lines barack obama is coming back.

>> well, just like the red line in syria? look, i just -- president obama reminded me yesterday, i had no idea hot leader of the democratic party is. is it him on whose watch they lost the white house, the house, the senate, nearly 1,000 state legislative seats lost chambers and governorships, tom perez who has that title as leader of the democratic national committee. buoyed routinely. community tour. is it bernie sanders. who won 22 states last year in the democratic primary. refuses to call himself a democrat? in fact he is a socialist and who i think. tom perez. is it any one of these -- like bernie sanders or joe biden? i don't know who the head of the democratic party is. is it hillary clinton who is still out there on the stump? won't go quietly in the night? so i hear that and they are all welcome to say what they want, but i think the democratic party is having a real identity crisis.

i have noted in the past that two term presidents who then leave office usually give, you know, great latitude and some time to their successors to actually, you know, get in there, legislate, put their executive orders, start chipping away at their own agenda and their own program. i hope the same courtesy is extended to this president. i confess i don't know -- i don't really understand everything that was said in that interview about values and norms. you see that this president has done a lot in 100 days. steve: sure. >> 12 or 13 roll backs of congressional review acts that 28 or so executive orders. 28 pieces of legislation. steve: kellyanne, no doubt about it he has been going 100 miles per hour. >> safety, security accountability that matters to people. steve: sure. >> we are going to keep plowing ahead. steve: sounds like somebody is plowing behind you right now that is a loud tractor. kellyanne, thanks for joining us live. >> thanks for having me. brian: cleaning america one

to unveil his highly anticipated tax plan as early as tomorrow. the plan reported lid aims to slash the corporate tax rate to 15%. what impact will this have on our economy and will the plan get through congress? brian: let's ask stuart varney that question he is the host of varney and company on the fox business network. exciting day especially for everybody on fbn because why will finally get the details on this. >> this is a big deal. this is the key part of the president's growth agenda cut taxes. in this case he is going for something that is doable. if you cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 15%, that's a far easier thing to get through congress than cutting personal tax rates and any other tax cuts. brian: doing it piecemeal. >> doing what he can do before the 100 days is up. steve: do it through the reconciliation process. i understand reading in the "wall street journal" today he told the team last week in the oval office get it done. he said slash corporate rates and personal rates, too. we don't know what that would be.

>> no, we don't know what that would be. that's a separate story entire entirely. focus in on this cut on the corporate tax rate. 35% now. you drop it all the way down to 15%. here's the theory behind that. why it would be successful. american corporations have over 2 trillion-dollars parked overseas. they don't bring it back here because you have got that whopping great 35% tax rate. steve: sure. >> if you drop it to 15%. brian: 2 could come back. >> a lot of that money could come back. brian: individual decisions though. >> a lot of that money comes back to america as a stimulus to the economy. think of it this way. silicon valley, the big technology companies, they're the ones with most of this money overseas. they have hundreds of billions of dollars overseas. steve: how many billions are parked in ireland alone? >> >> it's all over the world but it's outside of america. silicon valley wants more h-b1 visas maybe there is a deal

here. they bring it back to take advantage of a lower tax rate. meanwhile they pressure president trump, give us more h-b1 visas. i can see a deal like that very easily. steve: absolutely. brian: i heard if they don't get it down to 15. if you say 20 it's not good enough. have you got to be better than the rest. >> you have got to get it way down there to be competitive so that money does come back to america. treasury secretary says growth will pay for this thing. getting lots of support. ainsley: i have a feeling democrats are going to be against it. >> probably. but if all republicans are for it, you've got a shot. steve: you just need 51 in the senate. stuart, we will be watching you here in about an hour and 40 minutes. over at fox business. >> that will be the mass of it, yes. 9:00 eastern. brian: we will do a simulcast on the radio. >> we will today. brian: i hope this outfit is okay. steve: on the radio? it looks great on the radio. brian: it's a bird, a plane, a spy blimp. the brand new report the government was using this to

that's why you are seeing mr. perez and bernie sanders and other people in our party going out there, going to states we didn't win in elections like arizona, utah. going to voters what the democratic party stands for. that's where the rebuilding starts. ainsley: go ahead. >> ainsley, it's not about the democrats telling the american voters what they stand for. it's about them getting in touch with the american voter. it's important to note that many of the counties that president trump won are the same counties that barack obama won. it's time for the democratic party to stop doing so much talking and actually listening to the american public. they won't listen to the american public when it comes to immigration. they compare it to the new underground railroad. they won't listen to the american public when they talk about defeating isis. they won't listen to the american public when they say they don't like the healthcare system. so it's time for the democratic party to stop all the talking and start listening to the american people. ainsley: adrianne, do you as a

party have you sat around and say why didn't we win? maybe we didn't win because the american public really do want this wall and they do care about borders and do want jobs? do you ever sit around and just say how do we get in touch with the american people and what do we need to change as a party? >> look, clearly we have done a lot of soul searches as a party since the election. number one i will remind your viewers that secretary clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes. >> that's not how we win elections. we don't live in a direct democracy. this is a constitutional republic. stop using that same old talking point. >> direct democracy. okay? >> constitutional republic. ainsley: lawrence, let's let adrianne finish. >> this is part of the rebuilding process. this is why you are seeing so many of our democratic party leaders, out there talking to voters and talking to people who voted for president trump and letting them know what our party stands for and moving forward. ainsley: are you thinking about switching to the republican party, adrianne. >> no, auto i am not.

i don't know why she is doing that. brian: shows you the mind set of somebody who cares about illegal immigrants enough to cut back. >> realistically, what are you doing? i'm not a big fan of hunger strikes. i don't think it gets the point across. at least those people who actually do a hunger strike like gansdy ar grande are taking to eat for four days. brian: i think that's the mediterranean diet. steve: just cutting back. i think somebody over in the brooklyn d.a.'s office, what they are going to do is they realize this is a sanctuary area. and people who are going through the -- who are being adjudicated. this guy is going to try to -- convicts. if it's a small crime. not going to call ice. >> okay. prosecutors have prosecutorial discretion. for example, a theft, if somebody takes your purse off a park bench next to you it's a theft.

if they beat you down and take your wallet out of your pocket they used force in the taking so it's a robbery. prosecutors use discretion. if somebody stills a steak from the supermarket as they are running out pushed someone out of the way. technically they have used force in the taking. we will not charge as it robbery because the punishment is so severe for what he really did we will charge it as a theft. if this prosecutor is basically saying look, this guy jumped a turnstile in the subway, i don't think that deportation is an appropriate punishment, i'm going to rye reduce the charge decide not to prosecute or something like that, you know, that's one thing. if he is saying i'm going to take somebody who committed an armed robbery and bind it down to a theft because it goes from a felony to a misdemeanor and that way he is not going to be deported, that's a whole different ballgame. it's going to be up to the voters to say you know what? i don't want districts attorneys more concerned about people who commit crimes than he is about protecting me. steve: sure. >> it's going to be up to the voters to decide if they want to remove that district

attorney from office. ainsley: there are illegal immigrants in the country scared to go out and drive because they are scared they are going to get a speeding ticket and get deported. >> sure. ainsley: in a situation like that that needs to happen. >> i'm not a big fan of deporting illegal immigrants for minor violations. i think we need to do something. there is a lot of people here, yes they are here illegally. we take advantage of that how many people have workers that do work for them very cheaply and things like that. they are not violating any laws or intending to violate any laws other than the fact they are violating the law by being here. i'm not a big fan of ripping people out of this country. i don't see it as very american poor a minor violation like a speeding ticket. if they commit a crime, a serious crime. brian: i don't think going to do that that anyway. if you don't want to get pulled over for a speeding ticket you might not want to speed. steve: what about the dreamer last week who apparently been deported. he apparently had a record in the united states where he had

shoplifted and done other things. he also went into mexico without asking for permission which is one of the requirements for damascusca. they caught him climbing back into the united states and said you never asked for permission. stay over in mexico. >> totally different ballgame. if you are committing a theft, you are really depending on people to make a judgment call on whether they think the theft is a serious enough crime or not. i don't think we really want more thieves in this country. plenty of people who to go hey, you know what? that's not necessarily jump ago turnstile and avoid ago $2 fare. ainsley: and by having one of these visas, that's an honor to get one of these. you have to follow the law. you can't go back and forth. >> you are already behind the 8 ball because there are people waiting to enter the country legally. if you enter illegally and violating the law you are begging for action against you. steve: meanwhile, we have been telling the story of ann coulter she is scheduled to speak april 27th, the university of california berkeley had said you know what we can't keep you safe

that day, come on may 2nd. now the young american foundation is going going to go ahead and sue berkeley and janet napolitano or former department of homeland security secretary who runs the system as well. it's just not fair. it seems like they are trying to quell conservative talk. >> it certainly seems that way. there is an exception to free speech called the hostile audience exception. it's very limited because courts recognize that you open a door to people basically who don't want to hear speech saying oh you know what the audience is going to be too violent so we couldn't allow this speech to occur. >> i guarantee you berkeley the birth plates of freedom much speech on campuses 1964, if the speaker was an african-american and protesters are white supremacists who didn't want to let the speaker speak, i guaranteed you they would have marshalled the police sources necessary to make surety speech occurred. speech that doesn't coincide with their views. brian: one of these issues that goes across party lines. when i watched bill maher put

in his monologue ann coulter should speak and bernie sanders same thing. this is an alarm that goes off at all colleges. ainsley: janet napolitano held of the berkeley system she was head of the whole country she can't keep one campus safe? >> this is the situation of young eating the parents. this is the atmosphere that has been generated by the liberal professors on campuses all over the country engraining this kind of am in buy attitude on the students. the student are turning it on them you have seen how many professors they have demanded the firing of professors who dare to say you shouldn't be concerned about what halloween costume students wear. no you have got to resign. steve: ann coulter made it very clear yesterday she still hasn't heard from u.k. berkeley. if need be she is just going to stand out on the corner at berkeley with makeup on. >> if we know ann she will do that.

steve: absolutely. ainsley: everybody will need to watch on friday because i'm sure she is going to make news on thursday. brian: when it comes to costumes on campus. stop dressing up. we are adults. halloween way overrated stop dressing up, period. steve: i don't know. halloween is a big event. ainsley: if you are going to dress as a cowboy you can buy jeans at nordstroms with fake mud on them. brian: thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: 19 minutes before the top of the hour and heather has headlines. heather: hello to you and you at home. getting look at definition by the mother of all bombs. 46 terrorists were killed. homes completely wrecked. turned into piles of stone and rubble. the nearly 11-ton bomb disseminated isis tunnels in the region. u.s. and afghan troops have now taken control of the site. the "new york times" r0er9 coming to president trump's defense. praising the administration's

handling of the press. >> when obama had press conferences, he had a single piece of white paper and he had six or seven organizations that he had preselected to call upon and a lot of them were pretty favorable to them. trump's free-ranging press conferences, i think, are a lot more democratic than the way to obama conducted them. >> glen thrish going on to say reporters falling into the trap saying the golden age of freedom of the press under obama. he disagrees. and brand new leaked documents show nsa blimp illegally spied on people in new york. the intercept is now reporting that the blimp was fitted with surveillance devices that could listen in on our cell phones. the unmanned aircraft collecting international shipping data around long island, new york. now the intercept claims that the information comes from nsa whistle blower edward snowden. turns out pandas don't like selfies. at least not this one.

accused by obama's own justice department of being serious threats to national security. three were members of an illegal procurement network. one attempted to supply iran with satellite technology and three sought to lease a boeing airplane for hezbollah a u.s. dedesignated terror country. explosives that have killed troops and one case sensors for uranium centrifuges whole point of the nuclear proliferation group to begin with kellyanne conway weighed in on this program earlier. >> you see the lack of transparency, the lack of full disclosure. it seems that a number of democratic senators, some of whom who opposed that deal like senator chuc schumer, may e been unaware of the full scope. >> bottom line this report suggests that the way this nuclear deal has achieved has con anything but make the world safer. brian: yeah, right. thanks, griff. appreciate it. meanwhile, 10 minutes before

well, the squirrels put their shells right on the driveway. ainsley: a lot of shells. brian: it wasn't that. steve: i think we're past that, brian. brian: i'm not sure. let's talk about the border wall. wherever he goes, in fact, i'm sure on his rally in pennsylvania, he's going to be talking about the border wall. well, this week if we don't find a way to lift the debt ceiling, the government is going to stop working. so in order to do that, we have to get democrats and republicans to agree on how to fund the government. and for some reason, democrats feel as though president trump the most they will forbid him from getting $2.5 billion for something he promised the border wall. ainsley: the president originally said i want the border wall money, at least the first phase of it to be part of this spending bill. democrats aren't going to go for that. so he's saying what you know? i'm going to compromise. i'm going to delay the funding of the wall, at least for now, to avoid a government shut down.

but democrats have said we will give you some money for this, emphasis on technology and border agent and drones, but not for the actual wall. steve: absolutely. so the president is negotiator in chief, and he figures the last thing he wants to the official 100th day of his administration is a government shut down because that's the day it would happen. kellyanne conway was with us about an hour ago for a little while. other time it was quiet. here she is explaining why the president is going to go after the wall money in september or october instead of friday. >> building that wall and having it funded remains an important priority to him. but we also know that that can happen later this year and into next year. all options are on the table, obviously, and the president and director mulvaney and others have expressed confidence that the government will not be shut down, that they'll be able to avert a shutdown. that's a huge priority. but all of these democrats have made demands and the

president control the white house and the house and the senate and understand how important it is to have this budget. ainsley: you're not going to get everything you want, and i thought this was great that they at least are coming to a compromise. the democrats are saying we want to help protect the borders. we want to -- steve: well, they want money for obamacare. ainsley: well, that's what it's all about. steve: absolutely. ainsley: i give a little, and you give us a little. brian: what are you getting? to fund obamacare, i think that's what he was going to do, that's why last week he was letting everyone know about the wall. nancy pelosi asked about that yesterday. she said, no, i'm not going to do that for the wall in order to get funding for obamacare. if it was the maybe the '90s, everybody was giving and taking and working on a deal, maybe even the '80s. but for some reason, there seems to be only take on the democratic side and the republicans have to find a way to get their way because they have the majority in the white house. ainsley: it's all political. like you were saying in 2006 you have all these democrats

for the fence and now the democrats, the same ones are saying they're not for the wall. steve: wait a minute. are you saying politics in washington? ainsley: all politics. steve: oh, my goodness. here's nancy pelosi being political. >> president talks about how tall it is, who's going to pay for it, and all the rest of that. but you have to come -- you have to understand this part of the country. there's a community with the border going through it. the president talking about this wall is expressing a sign of weans. he's saying i can't control our borders, i have to build a wall. steve: well, we actually brought in this morning a couple of ranchers from that community. ainsley: there's a community. steve: exactly but there's no wall. fred, that you're about to hear from said over the last 30 years, they estimate half a million illegally have gone across his territory, and you know what? ever since donald trump became president of the united

states, the number of illegal border crossings has gone down 90%. >> you have the cartels coming across bringing drugs, guns. they're a dangerous bunch of people, and there's a lot of the border that doesn't even have vehicle access. the wall itself is just a tool, but you have to put boots on the ground to go with it to make it effective. brian: and, by the way, you would save money if you built the wall because it would allow them to use less border agents on the border and once the wall's built, you don't have to keep building it, you just maintain it. this is one of the few times in government it's a one-time investment. ainsley: and save money in other ways. you have krug cartels coming over the border, and then we arrest them, put them in our jails, we're paying for them. brian: right. steve: one of the things the white house is working on is taxes.

the president made it very clear apparently in the oval office i want to get this done. there are details in this morning's paper that say the proposal he's going to reveal to the country tomorrow will be a 15% corporate tax. ainsley: that's huge. steve: that is gigantic. plus, it sounds like they're going to i'm going to do about individual tax rates, that particular metric has not been announced. brian: yeah. steve: so far. brian: meanwhile, president obama also came back. he was speaking in chicago yesterday for the first time after the casing with bruce springston, tom, oprah winfrey, just like us. and john earnest was now asked because he was a full-time job on another network, what does it take to get president obama back in the mix? because he hasn't weighed in on any issues yesterday. listen to what josh earnest said. >> what do you think it would motivate him to get him back involved in the public debate? >> i think what would motivate president obama to reengage in the political debate is if we saw the federal government start to cross some clear red

lines in terms of long observed norms and values that frankly, i think we started to take for granted. steve: so what would be one of those clear red lines? would it be, for instance, gassing your own people? brian: i'm not sure. surprised he used that term red line. steve: you know what? when he was taking his taxi back to his apartment, he was probably, like, i wish i hadn't said that. brian: jimmy carter never stopped commenting. bill clinton did very few comments, very few negative things about bush 43. president obama very critical of his predecessor. but so far, president obama has not -- has been very -- steve: he hasn't said much. ainsley: isn't there a gentleman's rule, though? brian: teddy red bloo roosevelt was quickly.

>> the wall is mine you immoral, expensive, unwise, and when the president says, well, i promised a wall during my campaign, i don't think he said he was going to pass billions of dollars of cost of the wall onto the taxpayer. brian: that's true. the last part is true. he did say the mexicans would pay for it. maybe they will eventually. democrats are definitely against president trump's border wall. but our next guest is here to tell us why we need it now more than ever and waiting is not a good idea. joining us now is kansas secretary of state. chris, welcome back. >> thanks. brian: first off not happy with let's wait until the fall. >> absolutely not. there are two important reasons why we should not wait. number one, just by starting a project like this, you send a huge message. people are pointing to the fact that border apprehensions

are down 61%. that's because a message was sent by the trump administration that, hey, we do get tough on illegal immigration. brian: and when you come here, you're going to get tossed. >> right. by starting construction, that sends a message too. oh, they're serious about it, we need to start moving our family back to our country of origin. the second reason is, it's a huge project. we only have adequate barriers are less than 400 miles of the border. the border is 1989 miles long. so you're not talking about something we can do in less than a year. brian: and what you do is, you have the attorney general and the homeland security secretary in el paso and san diego. so let's get started there. do you think the president's wrong politically to give in on this? >> he's absolutely right for two reasons. one, the american people want it. more than any other promise he made during the campaign. what is the number one people associate him with? the wall. brian: the democrats will not pass -- will shut down the government if he doesn't. >> i think the democrats are making a politically unwise

calculation. they're in soft a trump derangement syndrome mode. they want some victory, but they're not realizing their voters back home are watching them on this, and they're not going to agree with them. brian: it was brought up earlier we should get private funding involved whether it's sponsorship or people that want to donate to it. it's a total tax writeoff. jeff sessions was on with us and talked about paying the wall as attorney general. >> congress can find a host of ways to pay for this wall. it can be done through people who come to our country through mexico, fees and cost, and even fixing a tax-abused situation. it's going to save a huge amount of money because we're going to continue to see this rapid decline in a number of people that come into our country illegally, housing, deportation cost, all kinds of costs will be reduced when we reduce that flow. brian: but, chris, this is how insincere it is in 2006, they funded money for george bush. >> exactly.

it was a bipartisan bill in 2006, they vote for this bill that never got fully funded to build 700 miles of wall, remember? they didn't build it wall. we've got less than 400 miles of wall. so it's all politics on the democrat side. i think republicans have been pretty consistent, most of them have. they want the wall, the people want the wall, and they know it. but the democrats are saying they want to scalp. brian: why aren't you in the administration? it seems you and the president hit it off. >> i had a great relationship with the president, and i've continued to advice him. i've decided the best thing for me to do right now is stay in my home state of kansas, but i will continue to provide advice to the president. brian: thank you very much. >> thank you. brian: 19 minutes after the hour. straight ahead, we tall you about the lawmaker who said she would rather starve for a few days. today she's speaking out. and what if we told you this high school kid would take out osama bin laden?

>> urgent confirm. osama bin laden is dead. >> multiple sources. osama bin laden is dead. >> and the day he found out the story about the 72 virgins waiting for him on the other side was bunk. >> the world's most wanted man. >> bin laden. >> the leader of al-qaeda. >> shocked in pakistan. >> shot in the face.

dead and buried at sea. >> is dead. >> the united states conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al-qaeda terror. justice has been done. steve: navy seal rob o'neill killed osama bin laden, but that's not all. a new book coming out today saying fired the shots, as a warrior, rob o'neill joins us live. the book was great. >> i appreciate that. it's a long time coming. a great story growing up a normal person in montana and finding nurse pakistan. steve: let's start at the beginning. so you're growing up, you're an avid hunter in junior high. >> yeah. we grew up hunting quite a bit. steve: one day you found a

navy seal. >> i took a navy seal hunting, i didn't quite know what it was, and he kind of came as a navy seal. steve: but he wasn't as big as you thought. >> no. just average guy. and i took him up a hill. and i normally took breaks, and i happened to be right where the elk were but he told me it was pretty wearing on him as well. steve: i bet. let's fast-forward through your high school career and the reason you wound up ultimately becoming a navy seal was girlfriend gone wrong. >> i got dumped and funny when i got to boot camp in the navy, a lot of our all volunteer military are there for the same reasons. something went sideways -- and i actually tried to join the marine core. steve: talk a little bit about that. you go to the recruiter, and they're all in one place. >> and the marine was out to lunch, literally. steve: because you wanted to join the marines why. >> yeah, because i wanted to be a marine sniper, and they

have the best snipers in the world and the only reason i went to talk to the navy guy is the marine core is actually a department of the navy, it's just the men's department. so i walked in there to ask him. and he kind of explained. look, you can be a sniper in the navy. just be a seal first, just brushed past that. i think i was a quota to him. steve: and you were, like, it couldn't be too hard, was it? >> i could keep myself alive, but i didn't know how to swim. i ran into a guy that i went to high school with, and he was, like, what are you doing? and i was, like, i want to be a seal, and he's, like, not like that. steve: and your physical prowess, just average. >> i learned the hard way you need to do pullups and the only way to get better is do more of them. if you're looking for special attention in the military, just show up without knowing to do pullups, and they'll give you the attention you want. four years, come back, and then turned into stories. and then meeting the guys and the operators, the book the operators is the life about

the operators and there are so many operators out there. steve: there are many more operations. you had 400 successful missions. >> yeah. steve: when you were team captain, you never lost -- >> as a team leader and team member, we didn't have one guy hurt in 400 missions. steve: this is unbelievable. >> anywhere from seven to 20, depending on what we did. we were very good and followed our rules. steve: what do people not know about the captain phillips rescue? >> what they didn't know is that we didn't go there to kill the guys. we didn't go in there with we need to shoot these guys, we just need to rescue the hostage. and our snipers were so good and so prepared when something very dangerous was happening, they saw it and took the opportunities to take the shots, basically put the history of the seal teams on their shoulder and fired. and i remember talking to the lead sniper and i said he's in the book too. i said you just did the most amazing thing in the history of the seal team. and he said, yeah, cool. can we go home now? all right. job well done.

steve: let's talk about lone survivor marcus luttrell. what do people not know about that? >> they don't know it was a huge -- watching everyone from the marine core, the rangers, seals, everyone come together, and we knew that we're missing two snipers, we sort of know where he is, all we know is they're not going to fly us in there. so we had to walk in and ten hours into it, we realized, oh, we didn't call home yet. our family just knows a bunch of seals died in a helicopter. so everybody was either psychology the widows or thinking they're a widow. i described how my wife at the time and dropped a bib in the front yard, walked inside, my daughter dropped a bib, they didn't notice, my neighbor noticed, he grabbed it out of the yard, and he was in uniform, and she thinks that's it. rob's dead. and my neighbor, ron actually finished the story better. she said, yeah, she opened the door, she punched me in the face and closed the door. it's easier to go to war than it is to send someone to war. steve: of course your most famous mission is the mission that killed osama bin laden.

>> yes. steve: something new that people don't know is one of the wives actually got shot. >> that is true. one of the wives going up the stairs got shot at some point. and she's actually -- it was interesting in the book because we took some of the interview from the wife what she said she saw up the stairs as well. so it's a really interesting part in there. it's one of those things that it doesn't matter how it happened. bin laden was dead, we went with the best pilots in the world, best aircrew, and best operators in the world. no one ever does anything by themselves. complete team effort all the way back to the agency. incredible story. steve: was killing bin laden the best thing you did or worst? >> we haven't figured that out yet. it's something i can close my eyes and figure out what happened. it has been great as far as 9/11 families and people who survived tell them the closure we did find him. it's a victory for america, and we should be proud of it. it's a historical book, patriotic book, and nothing wrong of being proud of great

accomplishments. steve: absolutely. it's a great book. >> thank you. i appreciate it. steve: check it out. it is called the operator. all right. rob, thank you. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, coming up next on the run down, conservative ann coulter says she's going to speak at uc berkeley, no matter what. and the students who just invited her took the fight for free speech to the next level. we're going to tell you about that. and he's one of the last republicans to drop out of the presidential race and now he's here live to grade president trump's first 100 days. what will governor john kasich of ohio give to president trump? find out next once there was a little pig that had built his house out of straw. one day a big bad wolf huffed and he puffed and blew the house down. luckily the geico insurance agency had helped the pig with homeowners insurance. he had replacement cost coverage,

so his house was rebuilt, good as new. the big bad wolf now has a job on a wind farm. call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance.

steve: can they possibly make it louder in the white house? >> here he comes. watch behind me. steve: what is that? >> hi. brian: there you go. fantastic. hey, kellyanne. steve: keep america beautiful. ainsley: she handled it like a pro. he kept driving behind her like five or six times. brian: was that intentional? ainsley: it had to have been. how many times do you need to go over that driveway to clean it? brian: government job. >> they would never do something like that for governor of ohio. >> they would run me over. steve: where is your microphone? ainsley: oh, did you forget your microphone? steve: brian forget his microphone. chris christie yesterday gave donald trump a b for his first 100 days, elizabeth warren gave an f for the first 100 days. what would you give? >> incomplete. look, it's not even 100 days and things people learn, they learn a lot.

i became governor, you know, i was acting like a congressman in a governor's office, and my wife said to me one day, she said, you know, you're the governor of ohio. you're the father of ohio. why don't you act like it. steve: whoa. >> so there's a learning can you ever that you have and understand the gravity of the situation. and so he's done something i think have been good and some things i don't agree with at all. so it's too early, and he's learning on the job. ainsley: he basically insinuated it's ridiculous to give a grade after 100 days. you have to give me four years, possibly even eight years. >> it's too soon to be doing that. just give him a chance to get on his feet. brian: who's responsibility is it to write legislation? should the white house have walked in with tax reform and repeal and replace and infrastructure? or is that supposed to -- to be effective, should it come from the congress? >> well, i think it's really a partnership. when i do stuff -- look, one thing being a governor sets

you up as president, you go through all of this. i have a budget, i work with legislation, i work with legislature the same way the president can propose. he's proposing already the tax reform, the tax cuts, particularly for businesses as i understand it. so i understand it's a joined effort. frankly, let me say one thing. i've never seen a situation, at least where i was there, where you start anything that's major and say we'll just do it alone, we won't talk to the other party. it just won't work. when they passed obamacare, it was not going to be sustainable. the republicans didn't participate and if republicans want to rewrite this without democrats, it won't be sustainable. you have to have folks. we have to get along with each other. it doesn't mean we have to bend our principles, but we have to respect one another in everything. steve: sure. one of the things that the republicans were going to do if they were elected and if they won the white house was they were going to repeal and replace obamacare. that was just a done deal. they've been saying that for seven years. you were in the congress for a long time. were you disappointed that. okay. they've got the white

house, the congress as well. they didn't have a plan. they couldn't get on the same page. >> well, i want to make sure you have the right plan. you can't have a plan. steve: seven years. why didn't they have the right plan after seven years? >> you know, it's always easy to say things when you're not in. and then when you get in -- you know, when i ran for president, i didn't make a lot of promises that were wild. i didn't have a lot of rhetoric. why? well, because i know better than to make promises that can't be kept. now, it is critical that obamacare be significantly reformed. i mean, the exchanges are in trouble. but you don't want to go at this with a meat axe and have millions of people without any health insurance. and robert taft, who was a conservative, you know, served in the 1940s and the early '50s, he was voted one of the five best united states senators. he said in a place like america if people don't have health insurance, the government ought to give it to him. now, he was mr. conservative. that's what they called him. you can't just pull something

out from people. you have to fix this system and reform it and do people with the other party. ainsley: and that's frustrating to watch because everyone wants -- everyone voted for donald trump because they wanted the wall or they wanted repeal and replace. they want tax reform. they want their taxes cut. but i feel like -- >> i don't think that's why they voted for him. ainsley: why do you think they voted for him. >> i think that people are very unsettled economically. they have a lot of issues in their lives, and they look to a strong man who could just fix them overnight. none of these difficult problems get fixed overnight. it takes time to fix things. and so -- but i think they thought, well. okay. everything's going to turn around and america's going to be great and everything's going to be fantastic. it might get that way. we sure hope and pray that it does. but i don't think they voted for him, you know, for these other little issues. it was more a sense that no one's paying attention to me. that's why -- steve: antiestablishment. they wanted to kick the table over. because it's not going well in washington. >> but it's not going well in

a lot of different places. you ever try to fly on united airlines. okay? the problem in the country is that we are all going into silos, we're not listening to one another. we're not treating one another as human beings. more like widgets. we're not listening. and to solve this problem, we have to get at it where we live. you see this book that i wrote. steve: comes out today. >> yes. it's out today. this book talks about -- here's the thing i want you to understand. it's not a political book. it's my observations of where the country has gone and how we fix it. and you know how we fix it? we fix it where we live by getting republicans and democrats to fight this drug scourge. republicans and democrats working at a food bank. it's republicans and democrats getting together to mentor kids. you see, we can fix the country and heal the country and respect one another. but it's going to have to come from the bottom up because i don't think the politicians are going to fix this. brian: but you also think the

political parties are -- at this point, they're almost -- they don't do anything. >> absolutely. young people are not, like, saying i want to go to the young democratic club or go to the young republican club. young people today are increasingly independent, they're pretty well informed, they know what they want, and they're not teaching themselves to a political party. i think the political parties are eroding, and i think we're -- i don't know when it will happen, but i think we're going to see a huge change in the way in which politics and elections are going to function in this country. ainsley: voters that are frustrated with washington because they do want a lot of this change, and they feel their hands are tied because congress is not passing. >> you may not want to hear. i was down at martin luther king day in georgia with bernice king, martin luther king's daughter. somebody raised their hand, i was being interviewed, and they took request he's from the audience. they said what about trump? i said what about trump? what about your neighbor? what about your family? martin luther king did not change america by going to the

politicians. he changed america by showing the moral outrage of racism and then republicans and democrats and liberal conservatives got together, and they changed america. so people ought to spend a little less time paying attention to what the heck is happening in washington, which doesn't always really directly affect them and a little bit more time where they live. brian: where they end up, governor, he ended up with the power players because he established the power at the grassroots. >> that's right. and that's what i'm saying. i'm saying if we all said of course we need to reform health care. of course it needs to work. of course we need to control the debt. of course we need to fight drugs. of course you knuckle heads in washington you need to get along and communicate. if we can say that, they'll begin to listen. steve: but look at the plate that donald trump was served on his first day of his administration. the democrats have been opposed to everything. they wouldn't give him the cabinet, he eventually got it, but it has never taken longer. he wound up getting his

justice on the supreme court, although they had to do the nuclear option. and now look where we are. they wanted to deny all legislative accomplishments. >> look, this has been going on for decades. remember bork? they couldn't get him to be the judge. and then we went impeachment, we went to the 2000 election, we had a lot of name-calling and fighting when the republicans took over and democrats were bitter. now they don't even talk to one another. this did not come about overnight. how do you think obama did with republicans? you see, we're getting into red and blue and silos. and if you don't think the way i do, then you don't know what the hell you're doing. brian: and like president obama yesterday. that's exactly what he said yesterday. he said no one watches the news -- news network that they don't agree with. no one listens to any policy they don't subscribe to. >> so here's what happens. we jerry mannedder the districts.

we give the republicans a safe district and the democrats a safe district. now the public has become more and more engaged, they absorb the media they agree with, and then they tell a republican that republican fears are going to be run from the right in the primary, the democrats are from the left, they're they're afraid of that, and it polarizes us. we need to get back to where "we" all as human beings expect each other. saying, look, you can argue but don't trash somebody. show some respect. i went through the government shut down when i was the budget committee chairman. i was part of it. but we reopened the government, and we balanced the budget for the first time since man walked on the moon. you know why? we fought, but we respected one another, and we put the country first. not our political party first. steve: he's got a lot of good ideas. the new book is called two paths. >> one last thing, faith. wait, one last thing. steve: we have 18 seconds.

>> people need to understand that in a society that's free, there needs to be a compass that involves morality, it involves personal responsibility, and faith is a positive thing. not a negative thing. brian: governor, thank you so much. >> all right. thank you.

>> welcome back. isn't as many quick headlines for you. problems beginning for uc berkeley as protesters trying to block ann coulter's event. now the group who invited her suing the school saying they're against conservative speakers. insisting on keeping thursday's event on schedule. uc berkeley says the lawsuit has no merit. and the liberal lawmaker who think so fast will go protect illegal immigrants is relying on prayer. texas representative victoria stopped eating on sunday and will only drink water until

the state debates on a antisanctuary city bill tomorrow. >> i feel fine. i feel healthy. our hope is that other individuals why they're joining us in the fact and amazed those that already joined that individuals will pray. >> some critics online, though, say that their hunger strike is more like a three-day diet. and what do you think? you've been telling us. >> i think she's going to make it. all right. heather, thank you very much. steve: looks like she made it after all. remember a couple of months ago we told you about how nordstroms took off the rack all the ivanka trump clothes. ainsley: what did they replace it with? steve: because they weren't selling. instead they put on the rack blue denim genes that sell for $425 that look like they're muddy. it's not mud. it's a rubber substance. brian: it's a shame people who

don't work hard, get our hands dirty anymore, so as an answer to that, we're coming up with fake dirt on fake genes with a lot of money. ainsley: the rich elite who really don't want to work and can afford $425 genes. brian: i would go on facebook because that's where i'm less lonely and kelly wrote this. for the men who hire other men to do their dirty work. that's the slogan these genes could have. ainsley: yes. nancy anne on facebook, she writes this. this is so you look like you work. lady, take a look at the hands. you will know whether in five minutes whether they match the genes. good point, if they have callouses on them, if they have dirt under their nails. brian: if they get a new car and make it a mess, you know they worked that day. steve: those genes won't make a mess. ainsley: if you have a white couch, invite your company with muddy genes to sit on

your couch, and you'll know who really works. the one who has muddy-looking genes. brian: the one who louisiana your couch is real. ainsley: an steve: and then you call stanley steamer. ainsley: no, you get the worker to do it. brian: next on our run down, here's somebody who likes to get his hands dirty. that's the republican governor of missouri in a s.w.a.t. competition. governor live next. ainsley: but first, let's check in with shannon to see what's coming up at the top of the hour. hey, shannon. >> good morning, guys. you know tensions are rising on the korean peninsula as they prepare to have a top secret briefing efevery senator today. lindsey graham joins us live. plus the president tax plan tomorrow, we will tell you what we know and house majority leader kevin mccarthy and congresswoman as they're also busy trying to avoid a government shut down. and newt gingrich says liberals are still in shock following election night.

it only takes a minute to take care of yourself, and nothing rhymes with "org"... steve: after promising to drain the swamp and bring back jobs, slammed governor calling him president trump's apprentice. ainsley: but just like the president, he has looked past the media in order to deliver those promises to the people. so what does the governor think of his own first 100 days? missouri governor eric joins us now. good morning to you, eric. >> hey, good morning. great to be on with you guys. ainsley: thank you. great to have you. what grade do you give president trump and how have your first 100 days been? >> i'll tell you. first 100 days in missouri have been incredible.

i came in as an outsider, maybe feel conservative, never been involved in politics before, and we let people know that our mission was really clear. more jobs and higher pay, safer streets and better schools for the people of missouri. i think what shocked a lot of the insiders and the lobbyists is that we came to jefferson city, and we've been doing exactly what we promised to do. we got right to work sign. we've been taking on the trial lawyers that we can build more jobs here in the state of missouri. protecting our farmers, immediately set a new tone on ethics here in the capitol. so for the first time in missouri's history, now no lobbyist can give a gift to me or anyone in the executive branch. we slammed shut the revolving door between the executive branch and lobbyists. i think we set a really strong tone here, and we let people know that we're doing exactly what we said we're going to do. steve: well, you mentioned you were a navy seal. come back to you over the weekend where you were s.w.a.t. team training challenge. tell us what it was and how you did. >> this was great. you know,

we had s.w.a.t. teams from all over missouri come together for a s.w.a.t. team challenge. now, this was something that's done in honor of one of our law enforcement officers who lost his life. and i've been telling everybody from the very beginning "we need to support our law enforcement officers. we need to make sure that they know that they've got their back." during the s.w.a.t. team challenge, people are going out, working on the obstacle course, they're working as a team counting on the person to your left and right. well, i want every law enforcement person in the state of missouri that we've got their back, and i want every law enforcement officer know that as a governor, i'm going to be supporting them and supporting their family. brian: governor, why not when you're done with work, why not just fight crime at night. it looks like you've got it down. steve: just get a cape. >> thanks. i appreciate that. i do have to tell you it comes in handy. we're fighting every day, taking on the special interest and the career politicians and the insiders and the lobbyists. ainsley: is that harder or the navy seal training? steve: governor, thank you

very much. ainsley: thanks, governor. >> you guys are very welcome. steve: we'll be right back. brian: yep you always pay
